When I use the units() method on the Ra (axial resistivity) it answers a unit combination I don't understand:
Code: Select all
oc>create soma
oc>units("Ra")
ohm-cm
Thanks in advance !

Sure and I use it. I was just a bit puzzled by the sign "-" bewteen ohm and cm which is a physical nonsens. A "." should have been clearer ;)ted wrote:Introductory physics and electrical engineering texts, plus (according to google) on the order of 10^6 places on the web.AGBX2 wrote:I have not been able to find this information on the neuron website.

Really? Haven't seen that anywhere--can you point me to an example in the literature? Doesn't seem like a good idea; there's enough notational confusion already, given the existence of countless examples of compound units that employ or don't employ one or more hyphens, depending on the whim of an author or editor. Not to mention the naming conventions used in UNIX's units.dat file. None of this should be surprising, really, especially when one considers that "uniform orthography" itself is a relatively recent convention, and, in practice, not always so uniform.AGBX2 wrote:I was just a bit puzzled by the sign "-" bewteen ohm and cm which is a physical nonsens.
